    So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.

    The first guitar lesson I ever learned was how to coil the cables properly for storage. If only all leads for everything worked as easily as that! Glad phone charger leads have improved, though. Back in the day when they were both proprietary (so much more expensive) and flimsier, as a rule, I...

    Stetson Stratoliner Milan {modern}

    Love the look of the blue. I have my eye on one of those - and a black in the Florentine. I did also see a spectacular looking turquoise on the web, but there doesn't seem to be anywhere that will ship to the UK has it left in my size. I realised last Summer my beloved grey Akubra Capricorn is...

    Straw Open Road

    If you want a brim that will snap down, the other option is the straw Stratoliner. I have one in the Florentine straw and one in the hemp - fairly new, got them for wearing this coming Summer, but they feel equally durable. The brim will turn down on the front on both. Otherwise a very similar...

    Leather jacket meetup in London

    Oh! I had read hints this was on the cards - the pop up last year was great - but it's been confirmed now? I know it's something Simon has wanted to do since the early days. I'd love to be able to browse and try on in person. Last year I bought a suit and needed to go up one size in the...

    Is it me or has it become harder to sell things on Classifieds or anywhere else?

    Something you see in London moreso in the Summer, usually among younger, more fashionable men - the sort who pay heed to fashion bloggers or GQ or the likes. I get the impression it's starting to change, though. A lot of the online ads I see for mainstream fast-fashion places are starting to...

    Leather jacket meetup in London

    I've walked past Hey Cowboy many times, but not yet had a chance to go in. Interested to see it.

    Update: management are aware of this. There's no such universal setting available. This isn't something we can change, as TFL runs on a software platform that is ultimately set in functionality terms by the provider. As I understand it, the default setting is no notifications, so worth checking...

    Is it me or has it become harder to sell things on Classifieds or anywhere else?

    I think fashion in general is just too splintered now (possibly a good thing), and too ephemeral, for any one thing to be dominant in the way it once might have been. I'll be surprised if anything challenges the knit beanie for supremacy in Winter now, but otoh, I'm definitely seeing a rise of...

    Is it me or has it become harder to sell things on Classifieds or anywhere else?

    Ha, guilty as charged.... Twenty odd years ago, I emceed a regular rocky horror screening wearing a probably 1970s pure poly (I mean, it was an absolute fire hazard!) dinner suit to which I added faux leopard fur on the lapels... What you can't see here is that the pocket square was a...

    Hmn, this is a new one on me - I'll pass this up the chain and we'll see what we can figure out.

    Show us your scarves ...

    Very nice. I've been considering picking up a couple of variations on this myself - how do you find it for warmth? They seem light, but I have a silk scarf that surprised me with how warm it was despite being light, so I don't imagine the apparent lack of weight is a necessary indicator of a...

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    BBC iPlayer recently carried The Outfit, a neo-noir, 1956-set piece starring Mark Rylance as a Row-trained cutter (not a tailor!) working in Chicago, with various mob clientele. He doesn't ask any questions about their business and they don't involve him in it - until, one night, they do. It's a...

    Story of a Fedora Behaving Weirdly...

    First time I steamed an open-crown hat, I boiled the kettle and filled a pyrex jug with boiling water, used the steam rising off that. Since then, I just boiled the kettle and held whatever hat I'm shaping over the spout as the steam rises. Just have to be careful to keep your fingers out of the...

    Serious about a straw Stetson Stratoliner

    By way of an update (and something of a reminder for me to take some photos when I'm next in the office where they currently are (it being a little too early in the year for straw still here in London)... I am now the proud owner of a second straw Stratoliner, this time the olive hemp model...

    Cowboy Boots

    Thanks, gents. I'll try them on again this evening (they're in my office, I'll be there again later), without socks this time and see - I think that will give me a good line of comparison with the Chips too. I have my eye on another pair in a different model, but will hold back til I see how I...

    Engineer Boots, Harness Boots...

    Anyone have any experience with Loblan harness boots - the 295 model? I've received a pair in the post, not sure if I should return for a size up. Once on they seem to be a decent foot-fit, but they're tricky to get on, and I had a real struggle to taken them off myself. My short Chips were like...

    Cowboy Boots

    Bought a pair of Loblan 295 harness boots this week, after a long time of looking for a pair of brown harness boots not in a waxy finish. I really like them - shiny, 'rub off' look in a finish I believe they call tobacco. I do have a question about fit. I tried them on in the office for the...

    My leather jacket database.

    Can't answer for Carlos, but more generally I suspect few of us have tried them because of the price. They look lovely, but I've been very happy with my go-tos that aren't close to that sort of really big money.

    Loungers' Pets

    By the by, you don't happen to know when she got them? I've been told it is easier to introduce kittens into a house where there's already a dog than a dog or a puppy to established cats, owing to cats being territorial whereas dogs are pack animals...
